Election planning with GIS
Planning for today's elections requires that government adapts to changing technological advancements, voting preferences, and requirements. GIS helps government stay ahead of these factors. Shifting the focus to a location before, during, and after an election enhances the voter's experience with web-based maps and mobile apps helping voters participate in the electoral process.
Modern elections departments embrace GIS technology to
- Streamline election preparations.
- Support Election Day activities.
- Increase voter outreach and education.
- Deliver user-friendly election results applications.
